Keira Knightley: No 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' For Me!

Keira Knightley makes her way through LAX airport on Wednesday (December 5) in Los Angeles.

The 27-year-old actress recently shot down rumors that she’d act in the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey films.

“It’s not going to be Fifty Shades of Grey,” she told MTV of her next film adaptation. “You know, I normally don’t like to give a definite about anything [but] I can definitely say it will not be Fifty Shades of Grey.”

She wouldn’t be right for the role of Anastasia so all these actresses who are dismissive of it are trying to act as if they would ever be considered…

How would anyone think about involvement of serious actors and actresses into this movie? Do they really think that these actors will destroy their careers by making this movie? After the rumours of famous actors, they will cast unknowns or D lists for 1000%.

Let me get this straight, they seriously think she’s going to go from a role like Anna Karenina to Anastasia Steele? I’m not surprised at her dismissal, but I think the very question is stupid.

@uh: They’re acting dismissive because they don’t want to be associated with this crap. Emma Watson was the same.

She’s so much fun. I attended a screening the other day of Anna Karenina and a Q& A with Keira at the end of the movie. So much fun

Who the hell wants to ruin their career for that porn movie, they should give the role of Anastasia to a crappy d list actress who has no future in the hollywood industry like Kristen Stewart, Kate Bosworth or Minka Kelly.

Every time I see the main picture, I keep thinking it’s Ellen Page at first glance.

Keira is not a shitty actress so she wouldn’t play that shitty role in 50 shits of Grey movie.

Daniel

Emma Watson and Keira Knightley, two actresses who never deny rumors are flatly denying it!

The reason: THIS MOVIE ADAPTATION IS JUST RUBBISH! Nobody wants to be associated with it!

I really enjoy her as an actress so I’m so happy that she wont lower her standards to be in that movie. After all it’s only some bored old housewives idea of bad porn.

I’m glad she’s just way beyond this role, she’s too (how do say this nicely..) poised for this role I guess or aristocratic for this role. Not every book can translate into a movie well, even with really good actors in it. I think this is one of those books.

Its been proven many times that how good a book is, is irrelevant to how good the movie adaptation is. They are like apples and oranges. So there is no way of saying how good or bad the 50 shades movie will be; ESPECIALLY WHEN A SCRIPT FOR IT HASN’T EVEN BEEN WRITTEN.
As for Keira, when things become too popular there is always a backlash that it becomes cool to set yourself apart and hate it. Its one thing to say that the book wasn’t your cup of tea, but saying that the movie sucks years before its even filmed is just plain ridiculous.

@Rachel:
hmm coming from this book which features mary-sue heroine and bad porn? no, not even an oscar winner director can make this movie good

haha

Oh honey, no one was considering you for that role anyway, you’re too old for it and its not a period piece, and its not an Oscar contender so that means its not good enough for you.

Rachel

There is a lot more to making a movie then just directing, its about the script, the cast, the acting, post production, the producers and editing. And use your brains the movie itself wont be featuring actual porn, it would never get to be played in the theaters then. All I’m saying is there is simply no way of telling what it will be like, its to early.
And disliking the personality of a character does not mean the entire movie will be shit.
